Did you know the South Parcel Expansion gravel mining area, which Cal Portland expects, demands, to drain for their exclusive profit, contains a potential drinking water source for DuPont citizens?
As quoted in our own 2011 Comprehensive Water Plan, ‘‘tis true”:

Why would DuPont city officials even think about allowing this?
What’s troubling is Mayoral Candidate Mike “Concrete” Courts (currently in office) claims the South Parcel mining area is only surface water, even though Cal Portland hopes to dig 80’ deep and drain 6.9 - 15.5 million gallons a day, and that’s it’s NOT a source of drinking water. So Mr Courts is contradicting city documents? Based on which scientific review?
Just so we’re also clear about drinking water SUPPLY in DuPont: there is a shortage in our WRIA 12. No new drinking water right has been granted by Dept of Ecology since 1999. Because, there isn’t enough left to permit. The city applied for a 3200 acre foot drinking water right in 2004, which has not been granted.
So, why are we even considering letting Cal Portland drain our drinking water? Oh that’s right, so they can sell it for an enormous profit.
Mr Courts also likes to ignore campaign ethics laws!
